Description

Polyaniline-indium oxide (In2O3/PANI) nanocomposite have been prepared by in-situ polymerization of aniline and as-synthesized In2O3 nanoparticles. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transformation infrared (FTIR) and UV/Vis spectroscopy techniques are used to investigate the structural and optical properties of In2O3/PANI nanocomposite. TEM analysis shows In2O3 nanoparticles are embedded in PANI nanofibers. FTIR spectra show the good interactions between PANI nanofibers and In2O3 nanoparticles. The band gap and electronic transitions in In2O3/PANI nanocomposite is determined by using UV/Vis spectra.
